This album didn't grab me on my first listen, but after four weeks of shuffling through my new albums, I realized that I liked almost every song. It wasn't intentional - I had already written it off - but I can't argue with my ratings. I guess it was a grower. Practically, every song has something interesting going on. It sounds like he is trying different things out and worrying less about a consistent sound. My favorite songs are "Boss Americana" and "Bargain Of A Century", but if you are missing the Strokes, check out "Miss Myrtle".
